Completing my BPharm Degree has allowed me to provide medication therapy management to patients in a variety of settings. I have a strong foundation in pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, as well as an understanding of pharmacy law and ethics. Additionally, my externships, internships and community service have provided me with hands-on experience in different practice settings, which will be invaluable as I begin my career as a pharmacist. Continuing education is also important to me, as new medications and treatment guidelines are constantly being developed. 

I've recently completed a course in Quality Assurance and gained knowledge and insight which is essential the pharmaceutical industry. It is needed to protect patient safety, improve outcomes and to ensure regulatory compliance. It is a critical component of the practice of pharmacy that requires ongoing attention and effort to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.
